    The dash and electrical was my biggest worry also. Took a bunch of pics during disassembly. Never looked at them again. Was a piece of cake putting it back together. Cutting the dash correctly for the windshield bars was actually my biggest challenge.

    I run a 5lb suppression system and have a cage mounted 2.5lb bottle.

    In my dailys I just run a 2.5lb bottle on a seat mount.

    Fire is not fun.

    I will likely pick up 3 cages once they are released. If anyone is interested, I could see about getting a group buy together. Any interest?

    Good deal. I just heard back from TeDesigns, and they said to get a number put together, and they will discuss pricing. Payment would roll through my company (GD Motorsports), and then I'll cut a check to TeDesigns with order and shipping info. It will essentially run like a drop-ship, as I do with many other vendors, but with manual orders rather than automated.

    Depending on how many, I can start a group buy thread.

    the angle of the dangle of the intrusion bars and the curved surfaces of the dash makes it tricky to trim it dead center on the intrusion bars for sure. when I built harry's dash that was the trickiest part

    This weeks Friday fail from my job site... pretty much the worst case of electrolysis & galvanic corrosion I have ever seen in my almost 30 years of construction. This is an aluminum bottom track for a storefront wall system in a bio lab facility...

    Sorry can’t divulge the client it is a private BSL facility, it’s local but the structure is 40 years old…so it’s been a ton of fun. storefront was not installed properly by modern standards + landscape grading was incorrect + irrigation is 6” off the storefront so it was a perfect storm of bad work. Now the client is facing a whopper of a c/o & schedule hit because they can’t risk contamination ie: mold intrusion in the lab facility

    I work for a GC Align Builders in Carlsbad, I’m a sup, I primarily do HCAI & life science projects.

    Why tf are my left to right afrs so different from each other... Unplugged each coil individually and got a drop in rpm on each one. Really didnt affect how it ran outside of that.
